Method of converting between an n-tuple and a document using a readable text and a text grammar

Abstract

Embodiments are directed at processing language content by a method of bi-directional conversion between language content with additional information to and from documents, using a readable text and a text grammar. A method combines additional information with the language content using punctuation idioms. The combined language content and additional information remains readable by one ordinarily skilled in the art of reading and also remains allowable according to a text grammar; that is embodiments are rigorous and may be declarative. The document is compliant with a format drawn from a set which comprises SGML, XML, TEI, HTML, DOC, DOCX, ODX, PDF and XPS. The document is publishable in a medium drawn from a set which comprises a book, a magazine, a journal, a newspaper, an article and a web page. A computer-readable memory device and a computing device are also claimed.

         8 ) The document [L], obtained by the method of  claim 1 ; wherein the readable text [I] is an allowable text [W]. 
     
     
         9 ) The method of  claim 1 ; wherein the document [L] is compliant with a format [S]; wherein the format [S] is drawn from a set of formats [T]; wherein the set of formats [T] comprises: SGML, XML, TEI, HTML, DOC, DOCX, ODX, PDF and XPS. 
     
     
         10 ) The method of  claim 1 ; wherein the document [L] is publishable using a medium [U]; wherein the medium [U] is drawn from a set of mediums [V]; wherein the set of mediums [V] comprises: a book, a magazine, a journal, a newspaper, an article, and a web page. 
     
     
         11 ) The method of  claim 1 ; wherein the readable text [I] consists of: a multiset of characters [X] drawn from a limited set of characters [Y]. 
     
     
         12 ) The method of  claim 1 ; wherein the text grammar [J] is one or more of: a context free grammar [Z]; or comprising: a lex description [AA], and a YACC grammar [AB]. 
     
     
         13 ) The method of  claim 1 , wherein the text grammar [J] comprises: a set of text grammar rules [AC]; wherein the set of text grammar rules [AC] further comprises: a multiset of terminal and non-terminal symbols [AD]; wherein one or more of the multiset of terminal and non-terminal symbols [AD] is an encoded terminal or non-terminal symbol [AE]; wherein the encoded terminal or non-terminal symbol [AE] is drawn from a set of text grammars [AF]; wherein the set of text grammars [AF] comprises: SGML, XML, TEI, HTML, DOCX, ODX and XPS.
